Add Properties
The init method for CounterService takes the Properties object as an argument. This means we can add properties to the service that are passed to the method init. You can add properties declaratively as shown below.
<service enabled="true">
<name>CounterService</name>
<class-name>CounterService</class-name>
<properties>
<someproperty>10</someproperty>
</properties>
</service>
